MCP ecosystem explodes with 13K+ servers, 97M downloads

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) ecosystem has seen explosive growth, with over 13,000 servers registered on npm and GitHub as of May 2026. Monthly SDK downloads have tripled to 97 million in six months, and new server registrations show 400% year-over-year growth.
